VHDL is a programming language thatallows an individual to define how a piece of hardware behaves. This language was developedfirst by US military and became IEEE standard in 1987. It was updated in 1993 and is knowntoday as "IEEE standard 1076 1993". The complexity of ASIC and FPGA designs has caused anincrease in the use of hardware description languages such as VHDL. As a result, students mustlearn

This methodology iseasily adaptable to any lab course and can indicate where limited time and resources should bedirected for maximum impact.IntroductionLaboratory classes are a key component of mechanical engineering programs. Although theyhave proven educational benefits, and are generally required for accreditation, they represent asubstantial commitment of space, resources, and personnel. Because of the effort and financialinvestment involved in developing new lab experiments, it is easy for labs to stagnate andbecome out of date. Virtual labs and simulations have been used to combat this in many casesbut hands on and open ended experiments still have immense value for student learning.In

Themost unlikely prior knowledge for civil engineering students is signal processing and sensortechnology, while mechanical engineers may not have experience with large structures. Thus, thebenefits of the laboratory as a place to explore structural vibrations may be reduced because astudent lacks fundamental knowledge in a particular area

Introduction:The genetic algorithm is a problem solving technique that uses the metaphor ofevolutionary biology in its approach. A population of potential solutions aregenerated and tested for their ability to solve the problem. If one of the solutionssolves the problem the process is complete. If not, a new population of solutionsis generated using parts of
